The good news: she said yes. The bad news: she’s going to need to find a new place to live.

Whatever happened to just getting down on bended knee?

A Dutch man with a creative side wanted to give his girlfriend a dramatic marriage proposal she’d never forget. His plan: Rent out a crane that would hoist him up to her windowsill as she slept, serenade her with a song and then pop the big question.

That was the plan, anyway.

The crane ended up toppling over during the romantic stunt, smashing a large hole in the neighbour’s roof. Luckily, nobody was hurt in the accident, but several units had to be evacuated. Here’s where the story takes an interesting twist though:

Somehow, right there in that wreckage-filled mess, she said yes. The couple is now planning to go off to Paris to celebrate.

Meanwhile, back at the cleanup site:

“…the crane fell again during attempts to right it with a larger crane, bashing in the rest of the neighbors’ roof. The town’s mayor is on the spot after the building was declared unsafe. Six apartments were evacuated.”
